Chapter 141 - Shaman

His words shocked both Bai Lingmiao and Chun Xiaoman. His own wife had been tormented for so long, and yet he still doesn’t want to treat her?

Bai Lingmiao thought about it for a moment as she held her drum. “Sir, if she really has been possessed, it’s better if we try to exorcize whatever is possessing her. It doesn’t feel good to be possessed, and her life is in constant danger. I don’t need any rewards from this, but let me at least try.”

Zhao Qin frowned at her words. He intentionally placed the tea cup on the table. “Chengxing, send them off.”

Hearing this, Wang Chengxing stepped forward and blocked the two ladies from his master. He smiled, “It’s dangerous at night. Let me personally send you back. Where do both of you live?”

Chun Xiaoman sighed. She knew there was no persuading them at this point. She gently tugged at Bai Lingmiao and approached the door.

“AAAAAH~” The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

At that moment, a shrill cry pierced through, startling everyone. At the same time, Zhao Qin’s face became even more gloomy.

On the other hand, after she heard the pain in the woman’s voice, Bai Lingmiao couldn't bear it anymore. She turned around and tried to persuade Zhao Qin one more time. “Master Zhao, at the very least let me try it once. I swear that even if we aren’t able to treat her, she will not be harmed. The Immortals aren’t heartless.”

Chun Xiaoman nodded as she tried to assist Bai Lingmiao. “Since you’ve tried every other option, why not let us try? What if we manage to exorcize whatever is possessing her?”

She suddenly thought of something causing a sad expression to appear on her face. “Or are you saying that you don’t treat her as a—”

Bam!

Even before Chun Xiaoman could finish her sentence, Zhao Qin’s fist smashed the entire table into smithereens. He was glaring at her angrily, his raging aura suppressing everyone in the room.

“I never lift my hands against girls, but if you continue to be rude, then you will be the first lady I’ve hurt in my life,” warned Zhao Qin.

“Hihi~” At that moment, a smirk sounded from the dark corridor, instantly alerting everyone.

“Who’s there? Formation!” Zhao Qin shouted, causing the two men guarding the door to immediately send a signal.

Within moments, more than ten strong men rushed in with various weapons in their hands. The group consisted of shield bearers at the front and spearmen at the back. It could be seen that their teamwork was impeccable.

Xiaoman felt it would be safer if they called in everybody. The sudden change in Zhao Qin’s demeanor was quite weird.

Half an hour later, their entire group was at the escort office. This time around, they were treated much more politely. The entire escort office was brightly lit up while all of the escorts and their disciples stood in rows as they welcomed them.

Zhao Qin asked them to follow him as they walked through the corridors toward a hut. As they walked, Zhao Qin tried to butter them up. “Young lady, what you said is correct. We should at least try or we would never know if your method could work.”

Hearing this, Bai Lingmiao could only smile nervously as she nodded. This was partly because of the grand welcome, and partly because this would be her first attempt at exorcism. It would be embarrassing if she couldn’t exorcize whatever it was that was possessing Zhao Qin’s wife.

While the escort office looked big, it was surprisingly modest. To the left of the training grounds was a small hut. This was where Zhao Qin had locked up his wife.

Creak~

The door was opened, giving way to sounds of someone sobbing.

At that moment, one of the escorts lit up a lantern, illuminating the inside of the hut. The interior of the hut caused everyone to be shocked.

The hut wasn’t very big while its walls and floor were padded with thick hay. It looked relatively clean, a sign that it was maintained regularly.

At this moment, a disheveled and dirty old woman with white hair was shuffling inside the hut. The chains that bound her leg looked quite rusty as she dragged them across the floor while sobbing. She completely ignored everyone.

“She has been like this ever since thirty years ago. At this point, I’m completely stumped.” Zhao Qin’s face was filled with bitterness.

“Master Zhao, please relax. I will do what I can,” said Bai Lingmiao nervously as she took a quick glance at the red-veiled Second Deity standing behind her.

After a while, Bai Lingmiao took a deep breath and approached her Second Deity before lifting up her red veil.

The men were all curious to see what was beneath the red veil. However, they were disappointed when they saw that there was another red veil with a mandarin duck embroidered on it.

At that moment, Bai Lingmiao took a deep breath and covered her head with the red veil before passing the drum to the Second Deity.

Meanwhile, Chun Xiaoman used her sword to make some space for Bai Lingmiao. “Everyone, stand back.”

As they sensed the change in the atmosphere, everyone in the escort office held their breath in anticipation.

After a moment, the Second Deity used her black fingernails and rapped the drum as a shrill voice rumbled from under the red veil. “Summon~ The~ Gods~”
